Classify This! - You are challenged to classify groups of animals, finally
arriving at a distinction between complete and incomplete metamorphosis. Following
the interactive classification you will take a quiz.

Predict
the genotypes of offspring in a monohybrid cross using a punnett square.
8.4.4 HR

Dragon Genetics - This activity explores the relationship between genotype
and phenotype, using both sex-linked and autosomal dominant and recessive traits.
By manipulating alleles (genotype), you create corresponding changes in the dragon's
physical appearance (phenotype).

Monohybrid Cross Problem Set - The following problems have multiple choice
answers. Correct answers are reinforced with a brief explanation. Incorrect answers
are linked to tutorials to help solve the problem.

Dihybrid Cross Problem Set - The following problems have multiple choice
answers. Correct answers are reinforced with a brief explanation. Incorrect answers
are linked to tutorials to help solve the problem.

Sex-Linked Inheritance Problem Set - The following problems have multiple
choice answers. Correct answers are reinforced with a brief explanation. Incorrect
answers are linked to tutorials to help solve the problem.

Sex-Linked Inheritance Problem Set 2 - The following problems have multiple
choice answers. Correct answers are reinforced with a brief explanation. Incorrect
answers are linked to tutorials to help solve the problem.

Using
a Punnett Square - short slide show explaining the use of a Punnett
square [the web link given on slide 9 does not work]

Extract
Your Own DNA - You can see your own DNA with the unaided eye. Using
this simple PowerPoint, your students will learn how to extract and view their
own DNA. (easy-to-follow instructions for a great, hands-on learning experience)

Make a Candy Model of DNA - (learn how the nucleotides are formed, and how
it all fits together) This model can be used to show replication, splicing, and
other functions involving the DNA double helix.

Is it Cloning? Or Not? - Although cloning is one type of technology used
in reproduction, not all reproductive technologies involve cloning. To play the
game, decide for yourself whether the scenario described involves cloning.

Welcome to the Extraterrestrial Gene Therapy Lab - As Space Doctor, you’ll
use your gene therapy knowledge to treat three ailing aliens who come into your
clinic. Before starting, you might want to review Tools of the Trade and the Gene
Therapy Case Studies found in other sections of this module.

Life Has a History - an educational module sponsored by the National Science
Foundation (select level 2 for 5-8)

Use a simple classification key to identify an
unknown organism. 8.5.4 & Determine the genus
and species of an organism using a dichotomous key. 8.5.5 DA

Classroom Activity: Make a Dichotomous Key - construct a dichotomous key
to identify people (or another group of items) in a classroom, using questions
based on gender, hair length/color, glasses (or not), clothing color, etc

Major Tectonic Plates of the World - The earth's surface is broken into seven
large and many small moving plates. These plates, each about 50 miles thick, move
relative to one another an average of a few inches a year.

Seismic Waves - This real-time 3D application allows users to create seismic
waves of any magnitude and pass them through a variety of terrains. The student
can view the seismic activity in the terrain through both a textured and wire
frame view.

Subduction - the birth place of a volcanic mountain range ( good animation
)

Infer that human activities
may be helpful or harmful to the environment. 8.10.5 ER

Virtual Field Trips - In this investigation, you'll take virtual field trips
to several protected places. Explore the Web site of each place to discover the
unique features that make it worth protecting.

Identify rocks and minerals given a table of physical properties. 8.10.6
ER

Identify simple machines. 8.11.2 & Choose
the most appropriate simple machine to use for a specific task. 8.11.5
FM

Compound Machine - answer a series of questions which require the selection
of the most appropriate simple machine

Design and Test - This project simulates the Design and Test process through
the development of a virtual paintball catapult. The student must build catapults
capable of performing a variety of tasks, stay within the allotted budget, and
interpret test results to fine tune their design.

Inclined Plane - This Java applet demonstrates a motion on an inclined plane
with constant velocity and the corresponding forces.

Lever - attach a new mass piece or put it to another place with pressed mouse
button

Newton's Second Law Experiment - During movement a red point in the t-s-diagram
(time - displacement) indicates the present time and the covered distance. This
Java applet allows students to collect data for graphing.

Ticker Tape Diagrams - A common way of analyzing the motion of objects in
physics labs is to perform a ticker tape analysis. The practice problems included
will help your students evaluate the time variable.
